Why isn't the SS guy saying, "ich folge nur Befehlen" I think he might be a spy
AI slop aside, I'm not even sure most of the people who slaughtered natives were just following orders (in many cases there probably weren't even orders)... Manifest Destiny was pretty ingrained at the time.
Slop. Stop this shit.
This is AI?
Yes. Look at the nazi in the middle. He only has three fingers. Generally the anatomy is illogical in all three panels. Arms disappearing into nothing hands holding on to nothing eyes melting into nonsense on several characters. This wasn't drawing by a human.
It is pretty ironic to me that someone is essentially trying to criticize the people who are currently ruining the world by using the very tech they developed to help them ruin the world. But whatever, I guess. It's convenient and that outweighs artistic integrity, cultural integrity and care for the environment. Let's just all mindlessly use these things that annihilates our planet at an even faster rate while the people whose hard work this glorified image generator steals from is being butchered and made worthless. It's good for the culture to have it become soulless slop.
The fucking irony of them to then make an image that shows complicity and irresponsibility of the people who just did what everyone did at the time instead of resisting is a very funny meta layer that I don't think they intended. I would rather they drew that meme themselves. Stick figures if they couldn't draw. It doesn't matter. The point would come across still, but no. They just had to go use a theft machine because why actually bother when you can just press a button? Why put effort into anything anymore? Why learn a craft when the AI can do all of that for you? Viva la revolución!
What's more annoying? That people have the ability to generate content with AI, or that everyone on lemmy constantly complains about it?
You're banging your heads against walls over and over. Stop. Shut up.
The second one
AI-generated. Thanks for training my neural network (brain) to identify more AI-generated images (slop).
What tipped ya off the weird faces or the woman with her child clone?
The font (a little bit weird-looking) and the texturing of the image (way too overdone). From that, I noticed the comic lacked a signature or watermark from a comic author, then I noticed that the characters are all just gazing into the distance.
First hint was the weird fist in the first panel. Why would you clench your hand in front of someone's arm if you're trying to restrain them? It almost looks like he's holding the guy by the hair.
All the comics from the new GPT have the same style, you don't even need to pixel peep. They just all have the same art style.
Yeah, and they often have the issue of people looking in kind of random directions that don't make sense.
~~Extra finger as well.~~ Damn this one was good though, would've missed it if I hadn't checked the comments and taken a closer look.
Edit: I can't count apparently. If anything there are missing fingers.
Where is the extra finger? I swear I can't find it. A disappearing pinky
I feel like most artists would make the daughter similar to their mother. I don't see how that's weird.
The characters all have different and "accurate" reactions
Sherif is stern.
SS is annoyed.
ICE shows some compassion
Native American is noble
Jew is startled
"Illegal Aliens" are scared
There are a lot of details in everything.
If it wasn't for the comments I wouldn't think it is AI, but I do feel like people bandwagon on it. Top comment says AI, and everyone is going to say AI.
Indian guy on the left has one less finger on his left hand. Nazi in the middle lacks a finger, indan man's right eye is a typical AI distortion, so are the eyes on the children in the last picture. The ear details on all characters are inconsistent and are either drawing in different styles or turns into AI-nonsense as in the case of the kids' ears. There are tangent with the Jewish face and the buttons on the nazi's uniform as well as tangents between the woman's hair and the ICE-man's uniform that are typical for AI-nonsense. The SS logo on the nazi's uniform is AI-nonsense, as well as the emblem's on his cap. It is supposed to be an eagle and a skull on his cap, but the skull is nonsense and the "eagle" has no head. An artist wouldn't make that mistake.
Many of the mistakes in this comic are mistakes that you can only make if you have no understanding of what you are drawing. AI doesn't understand that human hands have 5 fingers nor that eyes tend to have eyeballs on them. An artist doesn't tend to change ear details on characters unless it is a deliberate design choice, which it clearly isn't here as all characters are designed within the same style.
I know this because I am an artist. When I look at drawings other people made I can see the thought and design that went into them because as artists we have to understand what we see to draw it correctly. Someone at this level of skill would not make these careless and stupid mistakes.
Aww shit, I just can't count fingers. Maybe I'm the real AI. Yeah I'm still not sure that this is AI. I hate that we have to have this discussion.
Saw this on a thread a while back:
The funny and sad thing is I think the original panel was showing American imperialism against historical Nazi facism (soldier attire), so it was very easily repurposed for the next ethnostate of Israel with the Nazi flag being redundant against the very obvious German soldier.
